The single most important thing in life is what it all means to you. Life doesn’t come prepackaged with this meaning either.. you create it. Doing so is rarely easy, but it’s always within your power and well worth the effort. Ultimately, the secret is to LOVE, love the people who love you, share advantages … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – October 2018

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.
Twisted Granny
I have very mixed views about social media, it can be a huge platform for cyber bullying, judgment, over sharing and damn right rudeness but it can also be a place where you can find inspiration, talk to like minded people who share the same passions, follow designers, photographers etc, etc. Facebook groups are great … Continue reading Twisted Granny
Round Up, Round Up – September 2018
September is the month of new beginnings, fresh starts and earthly changes. As the sun cools, the morning chill try’s its hardest to make summer days a distant memory, as children step into their new oversized uniforms and shiny shoes. September sees every mother cry, while fathers, fight hard not to show the lump in their throats … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – September 2018

I’ve struggled at keeping my hooks down and I finally cracked. I knew it would be perfect for a blanket I was planning on … Continue reading Feeling Groovy
Round Up, Round Up – July 2018
It’s funny how with your first born, you want them to hurry to the next milestone, to watch them blossom and achieve as much as possible, all the while, you stress over the smallest things, you wrap them tightly in cotton wool and you question yourself twenty-four seven, as to if you are doing motherhood … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – July 2018
Autumn Briar Rose
Coming out of your comfort zone is tough in the beginning, chaotic in the middle, and awesome in the end…because in the end, it shows you a whole new world. I wasn’t planning on starting something new, but while I was in my summerhouse aka my craft room/husband and kids dumping ground, four brightly coloured … Continue reading Autumn Briar Rose
Moonstone
When I first learnt to crochet, all I was really interested in was making a simple classic granny square blankets, just like the one my mum had made for me as a child. I loved it, not only it’s softness and comfort but the bright rainbow colours that lifted spirits. I wanted to recreate those … Continue reading Moonstone
Lotus Moon
The Lotus flower has so many meanings, mostly it is associated with purity and beauty. To me it’s more than that, it’s strength, wisdom, hope, determination and of course beauty. It’s a symbol of life struggles and the doubts we have about ourselves throughout life. We all question if we are good enough, worthy enough, … Continue reading Lotus Moon

Love Entwined
The road leading to a goal, does not separate you, from the destination, it is essentially a part of it.

Round Up, Round Up – May 2018
May, I blinked and it was gone. It really has flown by and I achieved absolutely nothing, in both the land of crochet and family research but in truth the break has been really nice especially as I have lost my crojo. Research wise, I guess all I’ve done is fill in some blanks while … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – May 2018
Round Up, Round Up – April 2018
April has been a funny old month, and in honesty it’s the hardest month of the year for me with the anniversary of my dads death. The horrors always return, nightmares flood my dreams and my heart lays heavier than normal. He is never far from my thoughts but April always seems so much worse. … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – April 2018

March has been trying on many levels, but we got through it and thankfully it’s turned out to be quite productive. Our home is finally getting the face lift it badly needs.

I promised myself at the begin of the month that I wouldn’t start any new crochet … Continue reading Round Up, Round Up – February 2018
Stitches Entwined With Love.
At the end of October last year I started making my wonderful Auntie Jan a blanket for Christmas. 🎄 I knew there was always a risk I would not get it done in time as I had another important present to work on for my twin sister Hayley's 40th birthday.

Star of the Forest
Crochet has Changed my life in many ways, in it’s own little way it saved me.
